I like GNU Emacs, and I run GNU Emacs most of the time.
I _do_ know how to use vi/vim and I'm quite pragmatic on the matter.
When I am doing server configurations, by the way, vi/vim start up way, way more quickly than GNU Emacs.
This is good, but as I use emacs most of the time, I end up in mixing keyboard shortcuts.
Thus, on my system, $EDITOR is /usr/bin/mg and /usr/bin/vi (vi, not vim) is a symlink to /usr/bin/mg.
So I get emacs keybindings and a fast-starting editor.
If i __do__ need syntax highlighting or anything, i run vim (not a symmlink) or the full GNU Emacs.
Put simply.
